Incredible Edibles has taught me a lot about how to garden effectively. At home we only have a few plants in pots because we have a small house but my sister primarily takes care of it. However, at school, we have a much larger garden, featuring a variety of different edible herbs. Before I came to Incredible Edibles. I hadn’t done many of the tasks we carry out weekly, including identifying what is and what isn’t a weed, composting, and many more. I have also been trying some of the vegetables that we grow in the garden for example, Cherry tomatoes & Cucamelon). I feel confident that I now know more about gardening and it’s been fun to try new food.

One of the many edibles that we are growing in the garden is the Cucamelon. Cucamelons are like small Watermelons in appearance but on the inside they taste much more like Cucumbers. Cucamelons can be pickled with aromatic spices to give them more flavour. Like most pickle recipes, they take a while to infuse with the vinegar. As the pickling process happens, the Cucamelons get softer and the spices will infuse into the flesh of the Melon to give it that nice tangy taste.

In our garden, we are currently growing okra, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, limes, green beans, dill and kang kong. Over the last few weeks, we have been able to add more soil and compost to the beds and we have weeded in addition to planting more edible plants. Furthermore, we have also created some frames for the beans to grow up for.
I have learnt that some people are not disposing of their plastics in the correct place as we found a lot of plastic in the compost which came from the food waste bins. This helped me learn about how every small action counts.

In our Incredible Edibles group we successfully grow sweet potatos, tomatos, green beans, dill, kangkong, limes and okra. One of the things we have found challenging is that there are insects eating some of our vegetables.
At the beginning everything was overgrown and very messy, so we have tidied up the cucamelon, and we have moved the dill so that it doesn’t over grow. We have also weeded and planted tomatos which are growing very well. We have also grown okra and sweet potato successfully.

I have learnt how to harvest a lot of things such as Kang kong, tomatoes, okra, limes, green beans and dill. I have also learned how to cook beans because I brought them home and my Mum showed me how to cook them. I have also re-learned how to compost and what weed is and what isn’t. Ultimately, I’ve realized how much fun looking after a garden can be.
